SMB/CIFS Application Simulator
by BreakingPoint LabsIn our recent StrikePack 21396, SMB/CIFS application traffic simulation has been improved from standard SMB traffic to a more dynamic AppSim module. With the initial release of the new module two SMB flow scenarios have been included; an SMB NULL Session and an SMB/CIFS Client File Download. The former simulates an SMB NULL client connection to the server's IPC$ share. The latter however simulates an authenticated client connection to a shared resource on the server, performs a directory listing, then retrieves information about and downloads a file found there. With the first release of this AppSim module as delivered by the StrikePack mentioned above, these two traffic flows use fairly static data such as the filenames found in the directory listing of the shared resource and the data contained within the target file, although some customizations are exposed to the UI such as client hostname, server hostname, username, etc. In a forthcoming update however, many of the parameters for the Client File Download scenario will be randomized by default, and many more parameters will be exposed to the UI for customization by the user.
